AB 5.4 nominated for BoB and EPBA awards

Nordkapp Airborne 5.4 nominated for Best of Boats and European Power Boats Award. 

Best of Boats nominee description:

The Airborne 5.4 is the smallest model produced by the Norwegian shipyard Nordkapp. With a length of 5.44 metres and a width of 2.40 metres, the boat falls into the compact RIB category. The manufacturer has opted for a straight bow design for the Airborne 5.4. The fuel tank has a capacity of 100 litres.

Customers can choose between two seating options at the helm. The Twin-Chair configuration comprises two separate bucket seats with lateral support. The bolster variant offers a higher driving position and is designed for users who prefer a more active driving posture. An extended bench seat can be fitted in the stern if desired. The bow area can be fitted with additional storage space, including upholstery, onto which a sun lounger can be mounted as an option.

There are three Mercury outboard engines to choose from: the F80 ELPT EFI with 80 PS is included in the standard version. Alternatively, there is the 115 ELPT EFI with 115 PS for an additional charge of 2,023 euros, or the F115 ELPT Pro XS EFI, also with 115 PS, for an additional charge of 3,094 euros.

Nordkapp offers two equipment packages. The Highline package includes the Simrad NSX 3009 chartplotter and a Simrad XSONIC AIRMAR P19 transducer. The Highline Plus package adds a Fusion RA 210 Bluetooth stereo with two 6.5-inch speakers (200 watts each) and an XL mooring set to the electronics.
